See... this is exactly what frustrates me about this issue, and is the 
reason I felt it necessary to put it in stronger terms like "PLEASE DON'T 
BE A FOOL".

Just because your program works in a particular environment, doesn't mean 
that it'll always work.  Type this:

    CD '/qibm'

Now try running your program again.  Does it still work?

Does your company set a requirement that all users have their current 
working directory set to '/' at all times? Do you screen every software 
package you install to make sure it always leaves your current directory 
set to '/'?

Just because you happened to have your current directory set to '/' when 
you tested the program, doesn't mean that you coded it correctly and that 
it'll always work.

Here's the tagline from the bottom of your signature:

Right now you're doing it -- but you're not doing it right.
